After reading Tennessee Gentlemen's post about the correlation between the Heller case and NFA items I noted that I saw several quotes about the "shall not be infringed" part of the 2A. I didn't see much "interpretation" about the first part "A well regulated militia".
The word regulated to me implies that some limited and high level federal laws might not be unconstitutional. Then again the ambiguity of "well regulated" doesn't really mean much does it?
Does it mean a certain level of qualification (like qualifying in the military with handguns and long guns) or some other minimum amount of training or certification?
If (and it looks like WHEN) the ruling that firearms ownership is an individual right I think some will attempt to exploit this phrase more than they already are (as if they aren't already).
If this question is redundant I'm sorry, I looked through a few pages of search results and nothing popped out at me. I'm interested to see what everyone thinks.
